When "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" returns in exactly one month, there will be some major changes.

In the biggest shake-up since the show started, two original castmembers -- Adrienne Maloof and Taylor Armstrong -- are gone. In their place, newcomers Joyce Giraud and Carlton Gebbia. Returning for Season 4 are Lisa Vanderpump, Brandi Glanville, Yolanda Foster, Kim Richards and Kyle Richards.

toofab's Lawrence Yee caught up with Kyle at her Beverly Hills boutique, Kyle By Alene Too, where she talked about her costars departures.

Kyle said she'll miss Taylor the most, since she is "a good person" and "on her side." But it appears Kyle will will find an ally in former frenemy Brandi (Brandi even tweeted a photo of them out at dinner just last night). Off camera toofab learned Joyce is also Team Kyle.

The same can't be said for Carlton. "[She] came in with preconceived ideas as a viewer, thinking that she knew me so well," Kyle explained. "It didn't go over so well."

Conflict is always at the core of "The Real Housewives," as is family. Find out how Kyle responded to rumors that her husband Mauricio Umansky was unfaithful -- and the effect on her family -- in the full interview below.
